Instead of driving every interaction themselves, humans are beginning to delegate tasks to autonomous AI agents to book a flight, order groceries, manage calendars and more. For this to happen, the underlying financial system will also need to evolve. The AI-driven Internet will need money that is instant, global, and secure so that AI agents, developers, and creators can transact instantly, automatically, and reliably.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor decades, the business model of the Internet ran on ad platforms and bank transfers. The Internet\u2019s next business model will be powered by pay-per-use, fractional payments, and microtransactions\u2014tools that shift incentives toward original, creative content that actually adds value,\u201d said Matthew Prince, co-founder and CEO of Cloudflare. \u201cBy using our global network, we are going to help modernize the financial rails needed to move money at the speed of the Internet, helping to create a more open and valuable Internet for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Building an Open, Sustainable Internet Economy with NET Dollar<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Cloudflare has been a global company from day one, helping customers around the world to accelerate performance, secure websites and networks, and develop and deploy applications.

Stablecoin is one of many tools that, alongside existing financial systems, can help the AI-driven Internet thrive, with speed, trust, and interoperability.<\/p>\n<p>NET Dollar will help modernize the payment ecosystem for the future of the agentic web by:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li><b>Making payments easy anywhere in the world:<\/b>\u00a0Agents will need systems to enable payments that are not only fast and secure, but also trusted, recorded transparently, and executed reliably at a global scale \u2013 across currencies, geographies, and time zones.<\/li>\n<li><b>Enabling instant, automated transactions:<\/b>\u00a0Personal agents will be able to take instant, programmatic actions like paying for the cheapest flight, or ordering an item the moment it goes on sale.
